application filed August 6, 1913. Serial No. 783,32.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, CHARLES F. GREEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State ot Ohio. have invented a certain new and useiul W'ind-Shield; and l do hereby declare the following to loe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as Will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertans to make and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,- and to ,the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to. wind shields, and it has for its object the provision of an adjustable rain vision in connection with such shields. To accomplish this the shield is divided into sections and means is provided whiehwill permit the upper and the adjoining. sections to he turned at any desired angie about horizontal axes and to permit, if desired, the upper section to he carried outward to further protect the rain vision.

The invention also has ior its object the provision of means for ioclring the sections in position which may be easily manipulated and which will permit the relation of the sections to he easily modified.

F or the purpose of illustration and to clearly describe an operable construction containing my invention I have selected the-,particular wind shield shown in the drawings, it being understood that rny invention may he embodied in a variety of `forms of wind shields, and. such forms may still contain my invention.

ln Figure 1 of the drawings is shown an elevational view of one half of the wind shield construction. In Fig. 2 is illustrated a side view of. the construction. In Fig. 3,

is shown a sectional view of the disk hinge for adjustably securing the upper section of the Wind shield. ln Fin'. i is shown a sectional view of the disk hinge for adjustably securing the supporting` side arni and a lower section of the wind shield. Fig. 5 illustrates the supportingl hinge disk, and Fig. (i illustrates a sp1-ing used in connection with the hinge shown in Fig. f1.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patenten nee. di, isis.

' 1 is a support, which is -securedto the vehicle by means of a flange 2 and the nut 3.

It `may loe provided with lugs 4 and 5 `for overlapping and securing the side edges of a section l of the wind shield 6. The upper end of thesupport 1 is provided with a disk hinge 11, which is adapted to adjustahly secure an intermediate section 8 of the wind shield 6 and a side arm 9. The side arm 9 is provided with a, disk hinge 110, which adjustably secures the upper section 10 o' the wind shield G.

The hinge-disk 11, shown in' Fig. 5, is provided with a rim 12 and holes 13. Balls 14 are located in the holes 13. They ride on the hardened steel disk 15 Whenlthc arm 9 is rotated with respect to the support'11. spring 16 having a plurality of arrns and niches l?, in which the halls 14 are located,

elastically presses the balls against the hardened plate 15. The lower end of the side arm 9 isv also provided With a hinge disk 18. The dislr 18 has afrustumal recess 19. A pipe plate ZO is securedl to the side edge of the intermediate section 8 and is nut or plug 23. Thebolt 22 is provided with a shoulder. which is adapted Ato set against the disk 21. The holt is thus secured in position on the 'side edge of the intermediate section 8. The. bolt passes through the lower arm hinge disk 1S, the vhardened disk 15, the support hinge disk 11 and the spring 16. A cap Z7 covers the spring 16, the disks 11 and 15. A winged cap nut '26 is located on the outer end of the holt 2.2. The hinge cap nut is provided with a flaring edge Q78, which presses against the cap 2.7 and tightly holds the bulls 14 between the `plate 1.5' and the spring 16. The halls l1 being located in holes 13 vin the disk ll causes engagement between the disk 11 and the disk 15. "When the angular relation between the side arm and the supporting arin is to be changed the wing cap nut *2G may le loosened and the side arm may he turned.
